The physics class engaged in their exciting annual project titled the "Precious Cargo Delivery System." Students were tasked with the challenge of safely delivering an intact egg from an elevated platform to the concrete below, utilizing the principles of impulse and momentum. To successfully complete the project, students adhered to strict building guidelines and critically analyzed how their designs could extend the time it took for the egg to stop, thereby reducing the force exerted on it. It is important to remember that it is the abrupt stop, rather than the fall itself, that poses the greatest risk of breaking the egg. To add an extra challenge, we also decided to see which containers could survive hitting the ground and rolling down a hill. While some students faced challenges in preventing their eggs from breaking, they all demonstrated excellent analytical skills when reviewing their projects afterward. Overall, the experience was enjoyable for everyone involved, combining learning with fun and creativity.
